On offer is a finely crafted stoneware studio pottery jug by the British potter Michael Gaitskell, produced at Wootton Courtenay Pottery in Somerset. Wheel thrown in speckled stoneware, this elegant jug features a tactile ribbed body and a distinctive band of hand incised geometric decoration around the shoulder, finished in a subtle earthy glaze that reflects the natural aesthetic of the British studio pottery movement.

Michael Gaitskell established Wootton Courtenay Pottery in 1974 and became well regarded for his functional stoneware inspired by traditional country pottery and modern studio ceramics. His work is recognised for its restrained forms, carefully balanced proportions and understated glazes. This is an excellent example of his craftsmanship and a desirable addition to any studio pottery collection.
